Varun Saxena commented on YARN-5739:
------------------------------------

Thanks [~gtCarrera9] for the patch.
Few comments.

# REST endpoint {{/apps/\{appid\}/entities}} sounds more like fetching all 
entities across entity types. Should it be {{/apps/\{appid\}/entity-types}}
# Instead of using EntityTypeReader#getNextRowKey, we can use the method Rohith 
has copied over from HBase code to GenericEntityReader in YARN-5585. I had 
asked him to move it to TimelineStorageUtils. Once YARN-5585 goes in, you can 
use that.
# In the Scan object, should we use Scan#setCaching(1) as we do not need more 
than one row for every entity type. We can also use PageFilter of size 1.
# In EntityTypeReader#getResult, setting Scan#setMaxVersions is not required. 
Default value of 1 should do.
# In EntityTypeReader#readResults, is setting the PrefixFilter necessary ? 
Shouldn't we be using Scan#setRowPrefixFilter and pass the start row in that.
# Depends on perspective but EntityTypeReader returning a set of entities looks 
somewhat weird. Do we need to make it a subclass of GenericEntityReader just 
for reusing parts of augmentParams ? 
# Name the relevant methods in Webservices, Reader manager and reader 
implementation consistent i.e. either getEntityTypes or listEntityTypes ?

> Right now we only show a part of available timeline entity data in the new 
> YARN UI. However, some data (especially library specific data) are not 
> possible to be queried out by the web UI. It will be appealing for the UI to 
> provide an "entity browser" for each YARN application. Actually, simply 
> dumping out available timeline entities (with proper pagination, of course) 
> would be pretty helpful for UI users. 
> On timeline side, we're not far away from this goal. Right now I believe the 
> only thing missing is to list all available entity types within one 
> application. The challenge here is that we're not storing this data for each 
> application, but given this kind of call is relatively rare (compare to 
> writes and updates) we can perform some scanning during the read time.
